Cyd Charisse was one of the last icons from the glory days of the movies, especially those of the movie musicals. She passed away the other day at the age of 86.

She was best known for the movies "Singin' In The Rain", "The Band Wagon", "Brigadoon", and "Silk Stockings", dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. But she made her mark in Toobworld as well, in dramatic roles that for the most part never suggested her past as a dancer.Here are the characters she created to inhabit the TV Universe:

Just An Old Cowhand On The TiVo Grande

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"
